Front Row up and down now nothing..

Hey All
I brought a brand new MacBookPro last week and all is good. Front Row worked ok at the start then i noticed a few probs a few days later.. I clicked the menu button and it wouldnt open.. id move the laptop into another room and it would work.. this happened for a while and was very up and down connecting to FR....now when i click menu i get nothing..
I dont see any IR receiver tab to click and unclick in prefs>Security, heck the IR doesnt show up in System Profiler under usb.. my isight cam works perfectly. I have repaired permissions as i do all the time but to no avail..
how can i fix this? any tips? Surely i dont need a new battery after a week? ive hardly used it.. the thing is brand new..
any help would be appreciated.

well i had to call apple tonight for peace of mind.. we ran a series of tests, zapping pram, trying out a new account etc and the IR Receiver is deader than a do do, i know the remote works because i held it up to the camera in isight and saw the dot flashing.. anyway im taking it to my local apple dealer tomorrow to get fixed.. a one week old macbook pro and this happens.. how does it happen on a brand new machine? very strange!

DataGrid Moving rows up and down

I have this function to move rows up in a datagrid , yet i am having problems when it comes to move to rows down. I have tried changing the following line to +1 but it dint work any hints please.
            ac.addItemAt(itemToShift,dg.selectedIndex-1);
This is the code
public function up():void
            if(dg.selectedIndex == -1)
                Alert.show("Select the row which you want to up.");
                return;
            if(dg.selectedIndex == 0)return;
            var selectedRowInx : Number = dg.selectedIndex;
            var itemToShift : Object = ac.getItemAt(selectedRowInx) as Object;
            ac.addItemAt(itemToShift,dg.selectedIndex-1);
            ac.removeItemAt(dg.selectedIndex);
            dg.invalidateDisplayList();

Okay. So, I made the code a little simpler than what I said. With my code, you could have selected a row, clicked a cut button, then selected a another row to past afterwards or whatever. Here is the code for simply moving the row up and down.
I added code to catch if the row was at the top or the bottom of the data. Also, I created two indexes, one for the grid and one for the array collection. It will probably work with the one index, but I was trying to see if I could do the move on a sorted datagrid, but that is basically pointless.
protected function moveUpBtn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
var upSelectedIndex:int = myDataGrid.selectedIndex;
// Move Item
if(upSelectedIndex > -1) {
if(upSelectedIndex > 0) {
   // Get the selected Object
   var moveObject:Object = myArrayCollection.getItemAt(upSelectedIndex);
   // Get actual Object location if grid is sorted
   var upActualIndex:int = myArrayCollection.getItemIndex(moveObject);
   // Remove selected item at actualIndex
   myArrayCollection.removeItemAt(upActualIndex);
   myArrayCollection.refresh();
   // Move both indexes
   upActualIndex--;
   upSelectedIndex--;
   // insert item at actualIndex
   myDataGrid.dataProvider.addItemAt(moveObject, upActualIndex);
   myArrayCollection.refresh();
   // select grid at selectedIndex
   myDataGrid.selectedIndex = upSelectedIndex;
} else {
   Alert.show("Item is currently at the top of the list.", "Move Alert", Alert.OK, this);
} else {
Alert.show("No Item Selected.", "Move Alert", Alert.OK, this);
protected function moveDownBtn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
var downSelectedIndex:int = myDataGrid.selectedIndex;
if(downSelectedIndex > -1) {
// Move Item
if(downSelectedIndex < myArrayCollection.length -1) {
   // Get the selected Object
   var moveObject:Object = myArrayCollection.getItemAt(downSelectedIndex);
   // Get actual Object location if grid is sorted
   var downActualIndex:int = myArrayCollection.getItemIndex(moveObject);
   // Remove selected item at actualIndex
   myArrayCollection.removeItemAt(downActualIndex);
   myArrayCollection.refresh();
   // Move both indexes
   downActualIndex++;
   downSelectedIndex++;
   // insert item at actualIndex
   myDataGrid.dataProvider.addItemAt(moveObject, downActualIndex);
   myArrayCollection.refresh();
   // select grid at selectedIndex
   myDataGrid.selectedIndex = downSelectedIndex;
} else {
   Alert.show("Item is currently at the bottom of the list.", "Move Alert", Alert.OK, this);
} else {
Alert.show("No Item Selected.", "Move Alert", Alert.OK, this);
Here is the blog post with the working DataGrid and Source View
Message was edited by: DeanLoganBH - Had to set the Down Move to look for the Length of the ArrayCollection -1, because the DataGrid row starts at 0, it is one less than the total length of the ArrayCollection.

I found a solution!! so go into your settings - where it says "use side switch to:" click mute instead of lock rotation. Seems that somehow it was locked on mute (eventhough my buttons were showing me turning volume up and down) now its all working perfec

Front Row Freezes and has Glitches with DVDs

I already posted this in another forum, but someone suggested I post it here.
Whenever I start a DVD using Front Row, about 1 in every 5 times the screen will remain black and nothing will happen, and I can't even force quit to get out, I have to do a force shut down. This is infuriating when all I want to do is watch a DVD and I have to restart the whole computer. What could be causing this? When the thing actually DOES play dvds, the screen has glitches, like pink and green random images that resembles when an old Nintendo system is crashing. Please help if you can!! Thanks in advance.

I sure haven't. I must note, also, that it's not just with DVDs. Video files on the hard drive have the problem, as well.
Someone mentioned that the VGA dongle might be the culprit but that doesn't make sense. The computer with an external display works fine until Front Row is used. And, as I stated earlier, it doesn't seem to matter with my situation if I have an external display connected or not.
My personal opinion is that there's a conflict with some third-party codecs on the system. For example, I have installed the Perian components and ffmpeg. Since I have some free time this weekend, I'll be removing these and see if the problems persist.

New Front Row, iTunes and Quick Time updater

For user that not aware, there is a new updater for mac which is Front Row 1.3, iTunes 7.0.0 and QuickTime 7.1.3.
For my self, I think the iTunes 7.0.0 is excellent, I found it helpfull to categorize the video and TVshow that I have into a big art image with all the titles next to it instead of showing all as list or as icon in previous iTunes. Not to mention that we can buy a full length dvd movie ($9.99).
I wish the price is the same as songs or regular video ($2.99)...lol
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
Check the link above or use your software updater on your apple menu bar.
Good Luck and Enjoy.

The Updates
A. iTunes
I like the new iTunes a lot, but my major problem is that my music videos (from iTunes store and other sources) are in my music library! When I am typing or on the internet, iTunes is in mini player mode. All of a sudden a video window pops up and starts playing (what else) a video. I don't like that. The music and video mix transfers over to the iPod also. The main reason I don't like it (on the iPod) is because the audio for a video is different than the original song. An example of this is, Don't Speak -by: No doubt.
B. Front Row
I always liked Front Row and don't really notice any changes to it. It used to be a little slow on the exit, but after the update works like normal again. Therefore, I assume the update for Front Row was for the inner workings of the application. No complaints here.
C. Quick Time
I don't really use Quick Time. I do most of my video watching in iTunes of Front Row because I don't have to pay Apple to watch stuff full screen with those applications. Although, most of my videos are in Quick Time format because it takes anywhere from two (2) too thirty (30) seconds for Front Row to load Windows Media Video files from my external HD. (I guess that IS a complaint for Front Row, but don't tell him. ^_^)
D. iPod v. 1.2
Nice! 1) I can adjust the screen brightness (to conserve battery life). 2) Quick scroll thinggy (I lack the technical jargon to describe it). 3) Screen has a little brightness while it's connected to my computer. 'Nuf said.
E. Summary
I update anything Apple tells me to. But I am having some regrets about iTunes. Nothing that is going to make me uninstall iTunes and reinstall it from a CD (say... the CD that came with my iPod). I have sent a suggestion to Apple, so if you don't like the way things are, I suggest you do the same because posting here will do little to get it fixed. To do it, go to the menu bar while in iTunes and click:
iTunes>Provide iTunes feedback
It should be something similar in Windows, if any of you guys and gals are reading this. Everything else is fine.

Front Row Graphics and Pointer issues

Greetings Everyone,
I've noticed graphical glitches (visible white lines) in Front Row which seem to outline main categories and sub categories. It's very inconsistent as some disappear after selecting category with arrow keys. Additionally, after exiting Front Row, my mouse pointer disappears and requires for me to move mouse for 3-4 seconds before re-appearing. Any input or similar symptoms would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ann,
You can open Disk Utility which is located in the Utilities folder in Applications and verify/repair your disk. It may also be helpful to repair Disk Permissions of Macintosh HD. After you do that, I suggest restarting to make sure that your iMac is running at its best performance.
I hope this helps you!

Itunes / Front Row mp4 and avi and xvid

Hello.
I have started collecting and moving my videos to my macbook.
From my linux/windows days I have avi xvid/divx files.
I have divx player installed on my mac and those files play fine if I click on them.
They also will play if I put them in my movie folder and use front row.
If I try to move avi and xvid to itunes. They will not import.
I assume this is the case becuase itunes is only allowing files into itunes lib that will sync and play on a vid ipod?
However with the move to appleTV and such there are those that are going to want a HQ video that maynot sync on ipod.
Basicly, I just need to know what format I need to start experimenting as far as size/quality ratio so that I can move my vids to that format.
Thanks for your help.

Close... Quicktime has to be able to support the formats for them to be accepted into iTunes.

Is Front Row Working And Up To Date ...

Hi, Is the MacBook or the iMac a better media server? I would primarily leave it attached to a television and play iTunes Videos via Front Row. Thanks.

If you want a media server you're proably better of buying a Mac that doesn't have a screen like the Mac mini.

Front Row slideshows and purchased music

When i create a slideshow in Iphoto and add music to it from a purchased song/protected song it plays the slideshow in Iphoto with the music. However if I then try to play the slideshow from Front Row it will play the slideshow but without the music. If I substitute the song with a non purchased song it plays fine from front row. Is there a problem playing slideshows from Front Row using a Purchased Song as the background music?

I had the exact same problem before but I fixed my problem through iphoto and it worked on my front row photo gallery; all you have to do is open iphoto, click the play button (at the bottom left corner), you will find a slideshow window, select the music tab at the top, choose sample music or itunes (your music library) or garageband, choose a track and click *_save settings_* to make the background music work in front row. Please try my experience and good luck.
Cheers.

Auto-Repeating Layouts: Printing a Table's Rows Across and Down

Hi All,
I am trying to do the following: I have a VO that i currently display in an Advanced Table on my page. However, the table displays the rows like this:
<Row 1>
<Row 2>
<Row 3>
<Row 4>
And so on. My customer has required something like this:
<Row 1> <Row 2>
<Row 3> <Row 4>
My question is: is this even possible? I have been toying around with rowLayout, tableLayout and CellFormat but i haven't found a combination that displays the above layout. Do you know a way of doing it?
Thanks for the time!
Thiago

Front Row, iTunes, and Rentals

Is Front Row going to be updated, when AppleTV is updated, so I can rent from front row or even watch Rented Movies from Front Row?

It is a good question... I guess we have the answer given that the @tv has been updated.

Moving datagrid rows up and down

I have a datagrid and I want to be able to move one row at a time, up or down. What would be the best way to make this happen? Is there a built in function for this?
I currently want to be able to select a row and then push an up or down button to move it. Could I just take the dataProvider and get the items current index and do an addItemAt(new index);
Thanks for your help.

How to move rows up and down on a SharePoint List Item

Hello,
I have created a simple Project Plan Template for my team using a SharePoint list.
I have listed a sample below:
Date
Tasks
Owner
03/09/14 Gather requirement
X
05/09/14 Develop
Y
07/09/14 Deploy
Y
Currently there is no functionality in the template to add another task to update the Plan. eg: I want to add another task with a due date 04/09/14 to confirm requirements.
So basically I want to be able to add an item (task) towards the end and then move it to desired position depending on the due date.
Please suggest how this can be implemented without complex code changes as I am new to working with SharePoint.
Many Thanks in advance,
BH

Hi ,

List Project A has separate tasks defined which needs to accomplished in a timely manner for the project to complete on schedule.
I want to be able to move these tasks which are in a table on the SharePoint List.
Hope this is clear.
Please let me know if you have suggestions for this.

Made myself owner of sharing and permissions now nothing works.

I will concede that this was stupid but I needed to save a file and no permission changes to folders or the file itself would let me! So I made myself owner of my HD, instead of 'system' being the owner, and now all of my extensions fail and I can't open various applications.
I tried to revert but that didn't work, and I can't unmake myself the owner or make system the owner again.
Please help!

Or boot into single user mode, Cmd-S at the startup chime. This will give you a text only screen. At the prompt:
1) Type mount -uw / and press return
2) Type chmod 775 /Volumes/"Macintosh HD" and press return
3) Type reboot and press return
Note, if you renamed your hard drive, substitute the new name for "Macintosh HD". If the new name has spaces, like Macintosh HD, put the name in quotes. If no spaces in the name, quotes are not necessary.
Copy/paste these commands, as typos or wrong spaces will make them unworkable.

How come my app "find my iphone" always finds my ipad in the middle of the pond out front, 900' north and down 3 stories???

app "find my iphone" puts my ipad in the middle of a pond, 3 stories down and 900 feet or more further away? It doesn't seem like a great app for finding your lost or stole ipad/iphone//

If you are testing this indoors, don't expect accurate results.
GPS signals are very poor at penetrating solid walls, glass, even tree foliage, etc. The device is probably defaulting to triangulation between phone commpany transmission towers, which can be very inaccurate in many locations.
